There is also the Valley of Fires State Park relatively nearby.  No showers
but flush toilets and pretty nice campsites.  The New Mexico State Parks
home page is www.emnrd.state.nm.us/nmparks/.  I think they have a link to
the park.  I might be interested if I can get Peewee running by then.

P.S. I live less then 300 miles from there and I can provide information
about how to get there, etc.
